There might be actually two different issues in terms of protection against a breach. One, what is required in terms of not having a reportable event. Two, what is required to give you the level of protection you seek against breach, regardless of reportable event standards.
Absolutely. FWIW, if you're looking to be squirlly on the notification, I haven't seen any of the privacy/notification laws that really spell out what encryption is. Those that mention it, often give an out on notification if you are using encryption. It would appear to me that EFS, with all it's problems, would fit the definition and provide that out. Personally I think it would be nice to be able to examine the facts of the case and make decisions based on them, instead of having our hands tied legislatively. -- Roger A.
